I believe the University of Mississippi has been researching and performing this procedure for a number of years. Dr. Sewell is the pioneer in this procedure. Below is a link to an article about RFA. Take care.

Ann,
So glad the job is going well. We miss you, but understand. Take care.

Karla,
My condolences to you and your family. Praying for you during this most difficult time.

Denise,
Things always seem to happen at the same time...I have been challenged that way, too. In my case, I took on my 13 year old niece right about the time Charlie was diagnosed. It was a mess. Her name had been changed on her birth certificate, but not her social security and I had no power of attorney. Finally, went to court and got custody right in the middle of Charlie's initial chemo and radiation treatments. Had to get her in counseling and start a major retraining process. Somehow, we survived and she graduated from high school in May with a 3.3 GPA. Amazing given where we started 4 years ago. Your efforts will be worthwhile! Hang in there. Praying for all of you. Take care.

Mitchell,
So good to see you and get an update. You look wonderful! I would love to hear you play the organ sometime. Sorry about your mom's job situation. Happy to hear the good news about her scans. Take care and keep us posted.

Thanks for posting about this opportunity. I donated Charlie's corneas. They called me in the middle of the night since he was not signed up ahead of time. Signing up ahead of time is definitely the way to go...not that I was really sleeping anyway.

My mom got her CT results today. She is STABLE from her previous CT/PET in March. AMAZING!!! Prayers DO work.
Also, her leg wound is finally healing. They have been using Anodyne therapy on it for the last 2-3 weeks. She is starting to feel better and has been able to reduce her pain medicine. She is a tough 85 year old!
Thanks for all the prayers and support.

Charlie woke up short of breath. He went to the PCP who suspected pulmonary emboli. Sent him for a CT scan...he had pulmonary emboli and a tumor...the rest is history. He had just had a chest X-ray the month before that didn't show anything. He was stage IV at diagnosis.

Ry: Thanks for letting us know.
Praying for you Rich!!!! Hope you are feeling better and home soon.

Teri,
Great topic. So many things I could share.
The most important thing Charlie taught me is to "stop and smell the roses." He always took time to enjoy nature especially his own peace of nature at the Mynatt estate. Whether it was mowing grass, raking leaves, tending to the pool, he always had a peace about him...he was in his element. I have always had a tendency to run at full speed and not slow down to really notice and enjoy things around me. I now try to look for the beauty of each day like I never did before. Don't know if this makes much sense to anyone else but me. Take care.

Sandra,
My mom had the cement put in her back for compressed vertebra. She had immediate and total relief and a quick recovery. It was a miracle for her. Hope this helps and praying for your pain to go away very soon. Take care.

Thanks for everyone's support and love.
I would have responded sooner, but my Internet has been a snails pace for the last 2 days. Can't really do anything. Takes like 10-15 minutes of trying to be able to get to a message to read. We'll see if I can even get this response posted.
Thanks again.

Tracy,
Hallelujah! I am sooooooo happy for you!!!!!!!! Keep living life to the fullest.

Barb,
I recently tried to get my mom's dr. to prescibe this for her. He said there were too many side-effects. Of course, I wasn't there to press him for more information, but I believe it can make a huge difference for cancer patients. I think you should pursue it for your husband. I may try again in person for my mom on my next trip south to see her.
BTW, I have personal experience using it for depression and never had any side-effects.
